Grand Mental Health, a local health agency, is collaborating with area nonprofits to provide free resources for mental health support. On Monday, April 8, the agency will be hosting free mental health screenings at Restore Hope Ministries located near Charles Page Boulevard and 25th West Avenue. Behavioral health professionals will be available on-site to screen for alcohol use, depression, and PTSD.
According to Kim James, the Clinical Director at Grand Mental Health, early detection and intervention are crucial for individuals with chronic mental health issues. People with such conditions typically die 25 years earlier than the general population, highlighting the need for mental health screenings to address these issues proactively. James emphasizes the importance of prioritizing mental well-being as people do their physical health.
The free screenings will take place from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on April 8 at Restore Hope Ministries.
